I have not written on this thing since July. Wow, Corrie. Come on!!
Time for some updates!
Today is New Years Eve (and also my cousin's birthday, Happy Birthday Sarah!) and 2015 is upon us. Here are a few things that happened in 2014:
1. Took an awesome trip to the Ozarks with Jared's dental friends.
2. Took engagement pictures :)
3. Three of my best friends had babies (Hallie, Rachel, and Lindsay) and another two (Kim and Dana) got pregnant!
4. Ran two 5k's.
5. Jared started his fourth and last year of dental school!! He also passed his manikin boards and second round of written boards :) One more set of boards to go in March.
6. I started my second year in the school counseling program at Iowa and continue to love it.
7. We had to put Sydney (Jared's family dog) down on 12/13/14 :(
8. Got A LOT of wedding stuff done and spent too much money.
9. Jared's dad got a brand new truck and it's preeeeeettttttyyy nice :)
10. I took two summer classes which were not fun but glad I got them out of the way.
11. Got an awesome tan this summer due to playing sand volleyball and softball almost every night of the week. Going to the Ozarks helped further my tan as well :)
12. This winter SUCKED!
13. My dad finally had his hernia surgery. Woohoo!
14. Jared's dad got a new left knee! Double woohoo!
15. I finally got a chance to get back to the Iowa State Fair and it was great. I went with Jared's family. Jared did a rotation at the Des Moines VA for seven weeks so his family and I went up to visit him and took a trip to the state fair. I hadn't been there since I danced with Janet Long so it had been a while! Was good to go back :)
16. My mom got left her job at CDD and is now working in the Pathology unit at the University.
Overall 2014 has been a great year and I can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for us. Here are some things happening in 2015:
1. Jared and I get married!! And go on our wonderful honeymoon :) :)
2. Jared graduates dental school, gets a job, and we move away from Iowa City :(
3. We get a dog (fingers crossed and praying to God we get one).
4. Running more 5k's.
5. My bachelorette partaaayyyy.
6. My best friend Dana has her baby and she gets to travel back to the U S of A with her hubby and the little one in July for our wedding.
7. We buy a house (maybe) and I get to have fun decorating it.
8. I get a job (maybe) and start my third and final year in the school counseling program. No more school after this. I'm done!
9. I work my butt off and lose 10 pounds for the wedding.
10. My brother will finally be able to get a cat :)
11. Need to renew my coaching authorization (I am typing this on here so I remember to do this).
12. Jared and I get passports.
13. This is my last year working at City High.
14. See the new Fifty Shades of Grey movie that comes out in February :) :)
15. Go to an ACTUAL haunted house ;)
16. Be happy and stay healthy.
I hope everyone had a tough year this year has a better year in 2015 and everyone stays happy and healthy. My new years resolution last year was to not take life so seriously and just live in the here and now (I like Gestalt therapy if you can't tell) and I think I did an okay job of doing this but couldn't definitely do better. My new year resolution this year is to still not take life so seriously, floss more, workout more, be happy more often, and just have fun with life.
I have a lot to look forward to so why waste time complaining or worrying? I shouldn't! I need to say this to myself everyday. "Stop worrying, Corrie. Just live life and make the best of it."
Happy New Year everyone! Until next time....
